stray cat Posted January 9, 2019 Share #57022 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Thank you so much Philip. I, too, dream of wet printing again - I had to move my old enlarger to find this negative. I'm not absolutely 100% sure that the bug will bite me hard enough to actually get round to doing it, but you never know. I hope you are able to at some stage. In the meantime, as you suggest, inkjets can give you a reasonable facsimile, albeit without depth, soul and the knowledge that you've had your fingers in warm and sticky liquids to get there. Oh - just saw this after I posted - thank you so much saiche! Edited January 9, 2019 by stray cat 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I could live happily with those boulders and surreal tree and the wonderful depth of the background foliage.

Yes this one's a keeper for sure. Agfapan 25 was my all-time favourite film - developed in Rodinal Special - when I was doing a fair bit of landscape photography, and it printed so well on Agfa Record Rapid or some of the other truly great papers of the day (Oriental Seagull was another). BLACK? Oh yeah! Edited January 9, 2019 by stray cat Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidal River 2000 Nikon N8008s, AF-Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 IF-ED, Agfapan 25 Stunning. I wish I could see the print....and the negative. Everything else aside, it is kind of disorienting in the fact that the boulders, such they are, can appear as a macro shot of pebbles; the tree a dried up weed. It could not be any better.

Kudos for the effort in digging this up and bringing it back to life. There are so many things to love about this image. But for me it is the depth of the shadow detail and then the peak of the (controlled) highlights in the tree branches. That range is really brilliant. I will go against the grain here and say that wet print may not be the holy grail. I think the deep blacks and transition between tones is very much a function of what paper you use and printer. A really good quality paper, such as an Ilford baryta paper, and a light jet printer such as an Ice or Dursta would replicate those coveted qualities of a wet print but also achieve the additional detail that as scanner is able to extract out of the negative. Sure, it may not have that same exact physical feel as a wet print. But unless we are going to get lap dances and fondle our prints rather than putting them under glass and on a wall that really isn't going to be a differentiator - at least for me. Having said this, I am sure the wet print s sublime. Congrats again! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, Charles. Indeed, you will find such people no longer in our modern times. When i saw this man some years ago, i just had to stop and asking him, if i may take some pictures of him and his weird fairytail house on wheels. Later on i was sending him the photos for his privat album. Edited January 9, 2019 by greybear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's delightful in its use of the vertical and diagonal lines and those tones are just sublime. And then the person and the roundish shapes which contrast against and somehow exist in this rigid-looking space.
